Heather Haven wound up in Manhattan for a time. There she wrote ad copy and commercials for No Soap Radio during the day while working the Broadway theater in the Wardrobe Department at night. In those youthful days of holding down two jobs, she also wrote comedy acts and had one-act plays produced at the famed Playwrights Horizon. Once, she even ghostwrote a book on how to run an employment agency. She learned more about that business than she ever cared to know.She is the award-winning author of The Alvarez Family Murder Mysteries, Persephone Cole Vintage Mysteries, and several standalones. Her proudest award, however, is for Murder under the Big Top, winner of the Silver IPPY Best Mystery/thriller. As daughter of real-life Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus folk, she used her mother’s intimate knowledge of the golden age of the circus to create this standalone noir mystery.Heather has been married to singer/musician Norm Meister for forty-plus years. He sung his way into her heart. They currently live in the foothills of San Jose with their two cats, Daphne and Niles, and an orange tree.Website: https://heatherhavenstories.com/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/heather.haven.5/*****************About SinCSisters in Crime (SinC) was founded in 1986 to promote the ongoing advancement, recognition and professional development of women crime writers.
